| Description | Brunel discusses various problems with trials of a ship (possibly the SS Great Britain): 'this is serious - it must be either the engine or the ship'; 'pray let me hear from you I am all anxiety'. He asks Guppy to visit him so that they can talk over the logs - 'I fear Claxton's coming will be out of the question'.
